Grounding & Integration

Grounding and integration refer to the ways people process experiences after healing practices or workshops. This may involve rest, reflection, journalling, gentle movement, or supportive conversation with trusted people.

Experiential practices can sometimes surface strong emotions or insights. Integration helps ensure these experiences are absorbed safely and meaningfully into everyday life.

Simple grounding ideas

• Eat a nourishing meal and drink water
• Take a walk and notice your surroundings
• Limit overstimulation for a few hours
• Write down what stood out, without rushing to interpret it
• Prioritise sleep and a gentle routine

When to seek extra support

If you feel persistently overwhelmed, anxious, or unsettled after an experience, it may help to speak with a trusted professional. Responsible facilitators encourage appropriate support and do not discourage people from accessing clinical care when needed.
